Settings¶
The following settings are presented for the port resource.
description (optional) - Used to identify the device if no hostname is found. The first word of the description will be used as the device's hostname, and will be displayed on the front panel as it scrolls information.
Note: Some symbol characters, such as the ~ and \ characters, are not shown correctly on the front panel display.
make (required) - Type ? to see a list of supported devices. If your device is not listed, enter native.
model (optional) - Automatically discovered during assimilation of supported devices.
os (required in most cases) - Type ? to see a list of supported OS types. This list is filtered based on the make.
os version (optional) - Automatically discovered during assimilation of supported devices.
management IP - Required if Ethernet-based functionality is desired. This is the regular IP address of the device and not related to the dedicated Ethernet between the Lantronix Local Manager and the device.
configure dedicated Ethernet port? - Required if dedicated Ethernet functionality is desired. This network must be unique across all device ports on the Local Manager.
Note: If you configure a dedicated Ethernet port on a switch, set the switch to use DHCP or configure the STP portfast feature on the layer 2 interface to improve performance.
Use DHCP? - Specifies whether the device requests a DHCP address from the Local Manager series Local Manager. This command is presented only if you choose to configure a dedicated Ethernet port.
Note: If you configure the device to use DHCP, ensure that the Local Manager is configured to serve DHCP addresses to managed devices. Use the config system protocols DHCP command to do change the default of 169.254.100.
dedicated device IP (optional) - IP address of the device's Ethernet interface.
dedicated port IP (optional) - IP address of the port's Ethernet interface.
dedicated netmask (optional) - Subnet mask for the dedicated Ethernet. Each port must be on its own subnet.
speed/duplex (optional) - Defaults to auto but can be changed to suit your network.
console username - Depends on the login process of the device.
console password - Depends on the login process of the device.
enable username - Depends on the enable process of the device.
enable password - Depends on the enable process of the device.
Secondary Console username (Cisco only - optional free text field)
Secondary Console password (Cisco only - optional free text field)
